This would be like watching two 90-year-olds mud wrestling. How pathetic do these senile, has-beens have to get before they pull them off the air?! (My sincere apologies to any 90 year old freepers.)
Mrs Paulson and I thought that particular exchange was quite delicious.
Reality sinks in... on some, but not others.
Saw the same thing with Brokaw and Russert...
Russert did the math. saw bush had 269... and pointed out that the pubbies had won control of the HOUSE AND SENATE, so that even a tie would result in a bush/cheney win... and that was the end of it.
to be honest, brokaw looked relieved.
Brokaw and Russert had asked Limbaugh to be on their coverage last night, weeks in advance. Rush wanted to, but couldn't be there.
But it's pretty clear that CBS is in quicksand, and the other organizations, are NOT going to jump in headfirst to follow diver dan to the bottom of the bog...
I enjoyed russert's 'election board' and Brokaw's closing.
They added it up, told it like it was, and said that if it went as THEY had called it in Ohio... kerry was dung beetle juice. They were right, and kerry was squirted out of the beetle's arse early this A.M.
good.
And it was the position of Bob Schieffer to sit at the desk with his arms crossed, pouting like a two-year-old.
Is this true?
Rather did not want to do the math.
I saw that, and we had simultaneous dropped jaws! (Same with Peter Jennings brushing Ed Gillespie off at the end of their interview by asking (sort of), "Can you answer a question without spinning?")
We just howled, watching Rather torture the numbers with his Etch-A-Sketch Vote-a-matic.
Maybe its just me, but I noticed something tonight. One of the local infobabes here in St. Louis was wearing black today. No big deal. Until I turned over to another local channel, and ditto for their infobabe. HMMMM. Well, just watching Scarborough, and their babe doing the midshow newsbreak was wearing black as well. Also, noticed Katie Couric was nearly in tears today.
Am I onto something, or am I just too sleep deprived?
